Pros:Makes skin feel softer, reduces size and redness of pimples, shrinks pores and reduces amount of pimples.
Cons:Stings so much!
Bottom Line:Great toner, I use it after cleansing with Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, leave it on overnight then wash off in the morning. Does sting A LOT the first time, you kind of get used to it after a while, but if you find it too strong dilute it with some water. Best remedy for acne I've found so far, and all for just $2.95 a kg. Definitely worth it!
Usage:Tom has used this item for a few weeks.
Price Paid:2.95

Pros:Clears up acne right away!
Cons:None
Bottom Line:I have tried everything! From Proactive, to other household stuff like honey, eggs, and etc. Every Night before i go to bed I use a Q Tip and put it only where i have acne, then leave it on overnight. I can in all honesty say this works better then anything else I've tried, and i barely have an acne now.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:Skin feels very clean and smooth, old scars starts to lighten and pimples gets smaller and disappears a lot quicker.
Cons:Might sting a bit, depending on how bad and/or sensitive your skin is. And it might feel a bit dry.
Bottom Line:I absolutely love this. Have been using this for a couple of weeks now and I can't believe I haven't heard of this earlier. I love how my skin feels sooo clean and fresh. I still get some acne, but it disappears a lot quicker than before. And all these scars I had are also disappearing a lot quicker than they normally would.

I just take a slice of a normal lemon, rub it on my skin which I've already splashed a bit of water on. Then I wait for 5-10 minutes, wash it off(!!) and put on moisturizer.

Remember that if your skin is sensitive it might make it irritated, considering it's lemon juice we're talking about here. It's kind of a peeling, so yeah... If you got sensitive skin don't leave it on for too long, and make sure everything gets washed off afterwards.

Maybe in a month my skin has gotten even better, or maybe it just stops here. All I know is that this is definitely worth a try! Go try it out now!
